The widespread use of face coverings during the COVID-19 pandemic has created communication challenges, particularly for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Transparent masks can help individuals who rely on lipreading and other facial cues, even though they may have poorer acoustic performance. Visual cues remain important for both verbal and non-verbal communication despite the challenges posed by face coverings.
The widespread use of face coverings during the COVID-19 pandemic has created communication challenges for many individuals, particularly for those who are deaf or hard of hearing and for those who must speak through masks in suboptimal conditions. This study includes some newer mask options as well as transparent masks to help those who depend on lipreading and other facial cues. The results corroborate earlier published results for non-transparent masks, but transparent options have greater attenuation, resonant peaks, and deflect sounds in ways that non-transparent masks do not. Although transparent face coverings have poorer acoustic performance, the presence of visual cues remains important for both verbal and non-verbal communication. Fortunately, there are creative solutions and technologies available to overcome audio and/or visual barriers caused by face coverings.
